Can't Edit Comp Midi, Not Locked

[Scott Kendrick]

I had a number of midi takes, which I then flattened into a single comp take lane. Everything looks good. I removed the lock. I can edit things like remove notes, change velocities.. but when I try to add a note, it adds it to a separate muted take lane rather than editing the final comp lane itself.

How can I add notes to the comp lane/clip and not add additional take lanes, which forces me to flatten again OR unmute all takes?

 

Thanks

I think the answer may be "Turn off take lanes"... haven't confirmed/tried this yet, but that might be my issue.

very frustrating -  what i do is create a new empty take lane, copy the comp track to new take lane and can now edit/add notes in the new take lane - delete the original comp take lane

I believe the standard procedure is that when done bounce it to clip.

It's always been a challenge to predictably add notes to a specific take lane. It would be nice if focusing the lane did the trick but it doesn't. I'm pretty sure I've formally reported/requested this in the past.

In the mean time, the most reliable way I've found is to select a note in the PRV that belongs to the relevant clip and Ctrl+drag copy it to where you want the new note. That note will always be created in the clip from which it was copied and any additional notes you add will go to that clip. This also avoids the problem that creating a note more than aabout 5 beats later than the last note in a clip creates a new clip. Drag-copying a note beyond the current boundary of the clip automatically extends the clip boundary.
